D Correct answer
Explanation

The primary purpose of teaching is to provide knowledge of the subjects being studied. Options A (syllabus completion), B (high marks), and C (job placement) are narrow objectives that reduce education to metrics or outcomes rather than the core function of education itself. A teacher's fundamental success lies in effectively imparting subject knowledge, which enables students to achieve those secondary goals.
